Now that the draft order is set for the 2011 NBA draft, let's take a look around the web at the first wave (of many to come) of mock drafts as they pertain to the Portland Trail Blazers and the 21st pick.

Well, Dick Vitale has to wail about someone slipping. Walker is certainly not the 21st-best player in the Draft, but he's a 6-foot-1 scoring guard, and those aren't in great demand in the pros. He can learn how to play the point in the 503 behind one of the best, Andre Miller.

The Blazers have been looking for a point guard -- Reggie Jackson, Darius Morris and Nolan Smith will get a look -- but the team also needs depth on its front line. Motiejunas provides that and, at No. 21, he's a big-time bargain.

The 18-year-old Brazilian center is a project, to be sure. But his 7-foot-6 wingspan and unfulfilled frame have left some scouts wondering if he could be a defensive force someday. And for an organization that has been suffering through the Greg Oden years for what seems like so long now, there's no harm in taking a flyer on a player who could be its center of the future.

At this stage in the draft, teams tend to forget about needs, especially considering the shallowness of the pool of remaining prospects. The focus shifts to long-term upside. Arguably no big man in the draft has as much potential as 7-foot athletic Brazilian Lucas "Bebe" Nogueira, something that could be attractive to Portland's front office considering Marcus Camby's age and Greg Oden's injury history.
